Vikentije Ljuština

Vikentije Ljuština (Medak, Lika, 6 February 1761 – Vršac, 18 April 1805) was a Serbian writer, philologist, educator and archimandrite.[1]

His real name was Vasilije Ljuština, born in the Lika region on the 6th of February 1761 to Serbian parents.[2] In the monastery of Gomirje (Gorski Kotar) he became a monk. He was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church in Trieste from 1781 until 1789,[3] and thereafter in Sopron until 1795. In 1796, he went to Serbia to the Mesić Monastery, where he, as archimandrite led the monastery until he died.[4]

In Vienna in 1794 Ljuština printed in Cyrillic in Slavoserbian a 506-page Italian grammar for the use of Illyrian youth (radi upotreblenia illyriceskije junosti).[5][6] While he was the archimandrite of the Mesić monastery, he wrote a historical monograph covering the period from 1225 to 1797.[7]

In 1790 he founded a gymnasium in Vršac.
